Just a note: this is my favourite shirt… and I realize it’s not going to fit me much longer. I had my first midwife appointment last Friday! Not surprisingly, my bizarre pregnancy dream about a pet monkey, all-you-can-eat fruit and veggies and Journey sing-along in the midwife’s office did not come true. Instead: my nightmare!…
This week I decided I didn’t need to take Diclectin anymore. After all, I was feeling great; no nausea to speak of. I should’ve known better! As a person taking antidepressants, I know what happens when you start feeling better and decide you don’t need to take your meds anymore. Some how, the logical cause and…
Week thirteen of knocked-up-ed-ness has been fairly uneventful, which, all in all, is a good thing. I’ve made my return to the outside-of-the-home workforce: substitute teaching at the school in which I once taught. The school is divided into a high school and elementary school campus, and I am, for all intensive purposes (yes, I…

Therefore, I write these entries without any expectation that anyone wants to read them: they’re for me! That being said, I am the only non-Doula in my quartet of best buddies, so I know firsthand that there are many women…
Ah, let the belly photos begin! I wasn’t diligent about documenting belly growth with Cub, I think I wound up with a monthly photo. I’m aiming for weekly this time, and today I finally felt well enough to at least take a selfie. (Because I had felt well enough to have a shower, thus making…
So I’m writing this post at 6 weeks pregnant, but by the time I publish I’ll be a little further along. I can’t have my blog readers find out the happy news before my extended family! As you might already know, we’ve been trying to conceive since May. Obviously, I’m pleased to finally be pregnant……
My name is Lindsay and I am a 40-year-old mama of four trying to live an eco-friendly, budget-friendly life! I am a substitute teacher and Child Passenger Safety technician in Calgary, Alberta. Join me on my adventures!
